Bessa/GF670 samples...

Hello!
Thank you very much for the kind comments, Benjamin, Amos and Robert!
Benjamin, I am glad there camera served you so well in Kyrgyzstan. I hope to return there myself soon too.
Robert: Hehe...not so much an intended PR shot - that was taken in the bathroom (my improvised dev. room), one image left on the roll and no better idea what to use it for, minutes before dunking the roll into ID-11. 🙂

Great work on the Voightlander ad Peter. Yes it was a great decision to have the GF on my trip, together with the Hexar, it was a great set that complimented each other.

And yes, that note about finishing the last frame in the bathroom is hilarious. 😀
 
New developer-film combination:
Fomapan 400 E.I. 250 (its regular speed) in Rollei Supergrain 1+9 6:00 minutes (20C).

Ravenstein, my home town.
 
I took my underutilized Fuji GF670 on a trip to Olympic National Park in Washington State in July.
I was planning to take a few rolls and if I didn't like the results, I was going to sell the camera.
You can see two of my photos from La Push, WA here:

I am keeping the camera. I used Kodak Porta 400.
 
From my last trip to Ukraine by car. Probably for the time being my last trip concerning the crappy situation especially in the East part of this beautiful country.

Fomapan 200 E.I. 125 in R09/Rodinal 1+50. Hardly to believe one year later the impact of this photo now. From the open air museum: Heros of Afghanistan (Mykolaiv).

For the next visit maybe a good idea to rent a tank. 😀
Better safe then sorry ....... 😱
 
Thanks, Peter. Being offered a couple of rolls of Portra 400 in 220 made me shoot rather more liberally than I usually do with 120, and its amenability to BW conversion pleases me. (I'm spoiled by chrome transparencies for color, probably forever, but have also gone on record elsewhere that color interests me only when it is the subject, i.e., fundamentally abstract. This also frees me from making crazy decisions about hues, saturation, luminance, lighting....)

Lovely still reflection above in your own work. (I feel no need to see its color analogue either.)
 
A question for the hikers: while in the field (especially in the wild) how do you protect the camera from the elements?

I'm seriously considering getting one as a field camera, but was hesitating as I wonder whether (or how well) the innards would hold up.
